That was not what I asked for at all, and the very first item is incorrect. Positive behavior frequently yields negative results.

Quote:"Certainty", in the way I think you mean it, is never an option in theology. You're still thinking in scientific terms. Like you have to know without doubt that a God exists. You cannot.

I'm not asking for you to demonstrate absolute certainty, but the certainty you feel. What has convinced you that you have the best answer among those you've considered? If your reasoning is sharp, it should sound convincing to someone who disagrees, and it should feel as true for me as it does for you.
